• What you will wear and eat
• To change positions for comfort or walk around

Our goal is to develop a trusting and nurturing relationship with you and your family which helps you to labor and give birth naturally, comfortably and safely. While supporting your choices, our professional staff is well trained to manage the unexpected, and a back-up system is in place for emergency  transport if hospitalization becomes necessary.

Time to Bond

At  birth, your baby is immediately placed into your arms. Your  family stays with   you   as you rejoice and celebrate your baby’s  Birth day! You’ll be given careful guidance in the first hours after birth so when you go home you’ll feel confident in your ability to care for your baby.
